Dental Practice
Prosthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth and oral structures. Implant dentistry is a subset of prosthodontics that specifically deals with the surgical placement of dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots, into the jawbone to support dental prostheses like crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and conditions affecting the dental pulp and tissues inside the tooth. This field primarily deals with root canal therapy, which involves the removal of infected or damaged pulp and sealing the space to preserve the tooth’s function and structure.
Orthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating misaligned teeth and jaw structures. Orthodontists use various techniques, such as braces, aligners, and other appliances, to help patients achieve improved oral function, aesthetics, and overall dental health by correcting dental and facial irregularities.
Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that primarily focuses on improving the aesthetic appearance of a person’s teeth, gums, and smile. It includes various procedures such as teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and orthodontic treatments, all aimed at enhancing the overall look and symmetry of a patient’s oral features.
Pedodontics, also known as pediatric dentistry, is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on providing comprehensive dental care to children from infancy through adolescence. Treatments are used to address the unique oral health needs of young patients, including preventive care, treatment of dental issues specific to children, and promoting good oral hygiene habits to ensure lifelong dental health.
Periodontics is a dental specialty that concentrates on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the supporting structures of the teeth, primarily the gums and the bone that surrounds the teeth. Periodontists are specialized dental professionals who specialize in the management of gum diseases, including gingivitis and periodontitis, as well as performing various surgical procedures to restore and maintain oral health.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry that involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of a wide range of conditions and injuries related to the mouth, jaw, face, and neck. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are highly trained dental professionals who perform procedures such as tooth extractions, jaw realignment surgeries, facial reconstructive surgery, and the removal of oral tumors.
Lasers in dentistry are utilized for a variety of purposes, including the removal of gum tissue reshaping, and the treatment of oral lesions. Their precision and minimally invasive nature make them valuable tools for improving patient comfort and reducing recovery time in dental procedures. The treatments are also generally painless and post – operative trauma is minimal.
Full mouth rehabilitation using implants is a comprehensive dental procedure that involves the placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth and restore the function and aesthetics of the entire mouth. This approach typically requires careful planning, including the assessment of bone density and oral health, and can significantly improve a patient’s ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
